Turtles of Wisconsin with Helen Holtz
Friday, May 23, 4pm – 7pm
World Turtle Day is celebrated every year on May 23rd, offering a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness about turtle conservation and the preservation of their habitats. In Wisconsin, we are fortunate to have 11 unique species of turtles, but unfortunately, due to habitat loss and other human-related impacts, turtle populations statewide are on the decline.
Join us at the Cedarburg Bog for a special event where you’ll have the chance to learn about the distinct characteristics of each turtle species, their behavior, and their important role in the ecosystem. You’ll also gain insight into the challenges turtles face and discover how we can all contribute to their protection and conservation.
Come celebrate World Turtle Day with us and Waukesha County Land Conservancy’s Land Management Director, Helen Holtz, at The UWM Field Station located at the Cedarburg Bog. Let’s work together to ensure the survival of these incredible creatures!
